My son loves it!.......2007-09-25

I have this book, The Big Honey Hunt, from when I was a kid. I found it recently in a box of books from when my older sister and I were growing up. Needless to say, it has seen better days (the cover just fell off). I started to read it to my 22 month old son a few months ago and he loves it! We'll read it night after night to the point I want to hide the book so we can read something else. My husband and I both know it almost word for word. I realized that I needed to find another copy of it before it fell apart in our hands. I was really surprised that they still had the book in print. Now my son can read this book for a long time and pass it on to his new baby brother.

A fun storytime book.......2006-11-10

My 2-year-old loves seeing Papa Bear get into trouble. We already had the Bear's Christmas, the Bear's Vacation and the Bear's Picnic, and she loves those too. The punch line, where Papa decides the best honey comes from the store he passed in the beginning, is lost on her but she looks forward to all the animals coming out of all the non-honey-trees to attack poor Papa.

Kind of fun, but I prefer the later Berestain bear books.......2005-12-29

This is a fun book with some excellent learning points to it, but I think it has lost some of its magic with time, and certainly the later Bear books are much more popular with my two girls.

This, I think was the first of the Berenstain Bear books, Papa bear gets sent off with his son to buy some honey - but of course a smart bear doesn't buy it from the store, a bear finds his own honey.

The search takes Papa and his son through all kinds of adventures, as Papa bear teaches his son how to find honey - looks like, tastes like, feels like, smells like and so on. Like I said, these are nice learning points.

Anyway, a nice read but not one of the favourite kids books - the Circus of C and Bike Lesson are much more fun Kids books in the Berenstain range.

the big honey hunt.......2005-10-13

the book was in much poorer condition than indicated in the ad.the cover was yellowed, worn and shabby. all the pages were intact.very disappointed.

Classic.......2005-09-15

"The Big Honey Hunt" deserves its enduring status as a classic: a father-son outing with humorous misadventures; loose rhyming structure; map-like graphics easily understood by children; and obvious family affection. The "message" is understated and the story is good fun for all.

Little Honey Bear and the Smiley Moon.......2007-07-31

The book came when they said it would in 2days and it was in excellent condition. Thank you, RC

Very cute book........2007-06-19

My youngest daughter is in a day care where the name of her classroom is the "Honey Bears". I had signed up to read several books one day, and got online to see what "Honey Bear" books were available, and this was one of them. It's a lovely book - large illustrations, and the snow and snow flakes are 3D, soft and sparkly. The children ranged from about 10-16 months, and they LOVED this book! They'd look at the shiny moon and feel the sparkly snow flakes, and they loved the bear and his two friends. It's a nice book about adventure and the warmth and reassurance of a mother's arms when the adventure is over.

ADORABLE!!!.......2007-03-09

Our 2 1/2 year old loves this book and we love reading it to him. The illustrations are beautiful and sparkle with a bit of glitter. The characters are adorable and the story is too. We love the language they use in the book. It speaks to our son at his level! Things like "The moon smiled at me. She's so big and smiley tonight" and "my paws are happy now" are just samples of how the characters speak. And the author writes one of the last lines so beautifully... "Every tree was hung with a thousand glassy rainbows in the bright moonlight." We just love this book!!

Russian to Sell the Satire.......2002-01-13

Anthony Burgess' "Honey for the Bears," is a fast paced farcical satire set in Cold War period Soviet Russia. Following an antiques dealer and his wife as the two attempt to sell cheep dresses on the black market as a favor to a friend.

Sexual morays and British stereo type stuffiness are thrown out the window as the two find themselves trapped in the Soviet Union with the police on Paul Hussey's trail. On the boat ride over his American wife, Belinda, becomes sick and finds herself hospitalized for a terrible rash.

"Honey for the Bears" satirizes the secret capitalist desires of the Soviet people with a schizophrenic jump between their urges for Western pleasures and at the same time a contempt for the capitalist pigs that cannot even take care of their own people.

Sharp, witty and insightful, Burgess again succeeds in bringing together a dark twisted world that strongly resembles our own. As always, Burgess' mastery of linguistics shines through as he plays games with language and dialects: thus giving his characters a sense of reality.

Burgess's best-kept secret.......2001-12-02

I didn't want to read this book. It was attached to a copy of "A Clockwork Orange" and I figured I might as well. The whole time, I felt both compelled and repelled to go on. However, I loved it more than "A clockwork Orange," and am currently trying to find out more about it. Burgess uses an interesting plot that puts full emphasis on causality and contains many twists and turns that were comical and intriguing. I found myself alternately loving and hating Paul, the main character. The thing that I love about it the most is that what appears is a simple plot is really a statement of burgess's personal resentment for the state. If you're a political kind of person, or you want to learn, this is a great, insightful book.

It's ashame that this book isn't more popular..........2001-08-04

It is by chance that I read this book. And I don't regret it. I loved Burgess's A Clockwork Orange, and, naturally, I wanted to read more. After looking over the reviews of The Doctor is Sick ,The Complete Mr. Enderby, and The Wanting Seed, I decided I'd look for one of those. I went to the local bookstore, and sadly (or so I thought at the time) they only had one copy of Honey for the Bears, about 7 copies of A Clockwork Orange and a couple of works he did on Shakespeare. I read the summary for Honey for the Bears, and I was uninterested. However, for lack of reading material, I bought it.

It was excellent. Burgess is really talented. Unlike so many other books, this one never gets boring, not even for a second. Taking a journey of self exploration with Paul could not possibly be more entertaining, funny, exciting or meaningful than Burgess makes it. You'll enjoy this book if you like a well constructed plot and interesting story line. This was not in any way Russian babble not worth reading unless Russian yourself. (I'm not Russian, never have been to Russia, and don't know any of the Russian language. I will go even furthur to say that you most certainly don't have to have a great interest in Russia to enjoy this book!) At the risk of sounding cliche, this is just one of those books that entertains you the whole way through.

It's not complete candy though: Burgess used Russian throughout this book, making it a little diffult to understand at times. I had to reread a few parts, but it wasn't a chore at all, and surprisingly, did not bother me. Everything comes together at the end, although is not always what you expect. Delightful. I'm surprised this wasn't made into a movie.

One of Bergusse's greatest books...EVER.......2001-06-06

It is true that this book is underappreciated compared to the other great books of the author like Enderby and A ClockWork Orange nonetheless it's a great piece of fiction.No other book has given us a better description about the Soviet union or it's people.Our hero paul is a guy to be admired and pitied all through the novel.The book is funny,touching and fun to read and remember that the winter has come with it's long dark nights if u dont know what I mean read the story and u will find out.

Inventive and funny--Refreshingly wordy.......1999-06-22

This is by far the best book I've read by Mr. Burgess. It's excellent all the way through--it just doesn't stop. You can tell he thought it out well. Everything he says, he says in a way that is very, very entertaining and funny. It also has a hilarious plot and some great characters. I told my friends about this book, but, being fifteen years old, none of them will read it. So now I'm recommending this to everyone who reads this. This is a great work of fiction and it will please anyone willing to open up their minds for a novel.

Excellent childrens story for teaching how to share and help.......1999-02-25

Tippy Bear is one of my 5 year olds favorite books. The illustrations are creative with the use of prints that give the feeling of texture. The story teaches children that if they help someone in need they will be rewarded in some way. It also teaches the children that if they help and also share (as the Bees with their honey) they will make new friends. Thanks for the great story and we wish it was still in print so we could get the book for our friends. Sharon L. Bobi

So with one simple question leading to another, Lily and Poppy retrace the path of a tasty spoonful of honey — back to the bees themselves! Perfectly paced for the very curious, this step-by-step look at the origin, manufacture, and distribution of honey is full of nourishing facts and engaging sidebars. An educational game rounds out the story.

Really informative and fun!.......2007-05-16

I bought this book used, and we've used it harder! My son loves it with a passion. He's always been a big fan of honey and very curious, so finding a book that explains how it's made was a natural thing for us. The pictures are adorable--they really enhance the story.

Best book for Kindergarten.......2002-04-15

As a teacher who yearly goes to the library to get books about insects, specifically bees, this is the best book ever on the subject! (The bee is our school mascot.) For two reasons:
It takes a complicated subject, how honey is produced, and makes it simple enough for 5 year olds to understand; and the handcut collage artwork is something five year olds can handle in an art unit on collage. More, please, Ms. Wallace!

A delightful and entertaining picturebook story.......2001-06-09

In A Taste Of Honey, Lily Bear asks her father a great many questions and in doing so a jar of honey is traced back to Mike's Market, the honey farm, the beekeeper, the honeycomb, and ultimately to the bees themselves! Author and illustrator Nancy Wallace uses brightly colored diagrams and sidebars in this delightful and entertaining picturebook story for youngsters 4 to 8 showing all the steps of making honey from beehive to dining table in clear, simple, and engaging detail.

Babies Like it Too.......2006-10-24

I'm not sure what it is about this book, but my 11-month-old loves seeing the pictures and having it read to him. It's one of the few books we have that he appreciates and this age and that will be a great starter book in a few years when he's learning to read.

Great First-Words Book.......2005-10-14

I have a four-year-old who thinks the story and pictures are funny; that gets his interest in reading it. The point of the book to teach a few easy first words is accurate: my son is starting to recognize letters, so seeing the same words over and over tends to help him recognize the words. Well done.
